KPRC 2 and Rhythm Energy Athlete of the Week: Summer Creek’s Ty Fernandez
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Our Rhythm Energy Athlete of the Week is Summer Creek junior Ty Fernandez who helped the Bulldogs get to the state championship game for the first time in school history.
After getting a penalty in the box against the then defending state champions, Vandegrift, Ty sent home a penalty kick for the second goal of the game for Summer Creek who went on to beat the defending champs 3-0.
The Bulldogs lost to College Park in the state championship game but with Ty’s help the Bulldogs program was able to make program history.
